Answer

QUERY

Query comes from the Latin word 'quaerere' meaning 'to ask or seek.' Today it is commonly used in computing to describe a request for information from a database, but it also serves as a formal term for any question or inquiry. The word can function as both a noun and a verb.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with Q are rare in Wordle, and Q is almost always followed by U. If you suspect a Q word, try it early because there are very few five letter options that begin with Q, making it easier to narrow down.
